The value of a Thomas Jefferson one-dollar coin (Presidential Dollar) can vary depending on its condition and any errors it might have.
- Circulated coins: If the coin has been used and shows wear and tear, it’s generally worth its face value, or $1.
- Uncirculated coins: A Jefferson Presidential Dollar in uncirculated condition (meaning it shows no signs of wear) might be worth slightly more to collectors, perhaps around $3 to $5, according to Nationwide Coin & Bullion Reserve. Some online retailers offer them for slightly more, for instance, between $2.75 and $6.50.
- Missing edge lettering: Some of the most valuable Thomas Jefferson Presidential Dollars are those with minting errors, specifically those missing the edge lettering (the phrase “E Pluribus Unum,” the mint mark, and the date).
- Graded error coins: A 2007 Special Mint Set (SMS) Jefferson dollar with missing edge lettering, graded 67 (on a scale of 1 to 70), has been valued at $600.
- Condition/Grade: The better the condition of the coin, the more valuable it is likely to be.
- Errors: Minting errors, especially missing edge lettering, significantly increase the value of Presidential Dollar coins.
- Scarcity: If there were a lower number of coins minted in a particular year or with a specific error, that can also increase the value.
In summary, while most Thomas Jefferson Presidential Dollars are worth their face value, some uncirculated examples and those with minting errors can be worth significantly more to collectors.
